<strong>Auckland</strong> is a foodie mecca with a wide range of restaurants, bars and cafés to<br />

suit every taste and budget - the diverse choices reflecting the city’s melting pot<br />

of cultures. From fresh fish and chips at the <strong>Auckland</strong> Fish Market to fine cuisine<br />

at one of the many harbourside restaurants, there’s plenty to choose from.<br />

The city fringe suburbs of Ponsonby, Mission Bay and Parnell all offer great food, wine<br />

and people watching. If you fancy a day trip further afield, visit the scenic village of<br />

Matakana north of the city, known for its vineyards and local organic produce.<br />

WINE<br />

<strong>Auckland</strong> is surrounded by<br />

wine regions, each distinctively<br />

different. Matakana lies less<br />

than an hour to the north,<br />

Kumeu is west and even closer.<br />

Just south lie the wineries of the<br />

Clevedon Hills and out in the<br />

Hauraki Gulf there’s Waiheke,<br />

the ‘island of wine’.<br />
